Soda ash, also known as sodium carbonate, is a white, odorless crystalline solid with the chemical formula Na2CO3. It belongs to the chlor-alkali family and is found in large natural deposits or extracted from the ashes of plants growing in sodium-rich soils. Commercial soda ash is available in various grades that differ in particle size and shape as well as bulk density. Due to its disinfectant properties, soda ash is used in the production of laundry detergents, stain removers, and all-purpose cleaners. Apart from this, it is also used in petroleum-based products, personal care products, ceramics, and sodium salts.
